And given the negative connotation the word hoard has to some, wonder why the author or whom ever decided to use this word to describe this find.
I guess you're worried about sentences such as: "She hoard until the age of 30, after which she retired and opened her own betrothal."
lol I am not 'worried', I wanted to know the reasoning behind the word 'hoard' in describing this treasure that has so many in stunned disbelief. And given the days we now are facing concern by the nose picking governing officials about 'hoarding' food, guns, ammo, etc.... and the recent ads showing hoarders living in mass confusion of saving everything, living in what looks like a city dump.
